Overview

The M’Goun valley is located in the central part of the High Atlas Mountains and is home to the second highest peak in Morocco, Jebel M’Goun. The M’Goun summit is a popular destination for hikers and trekkers who would like to test their skills before tackling bigger adventures.

Even if you have lots of experience, the M’Goun Massif has plenty for you to enjoy as an Atlas Mountains tour. You’ll be further out from Marrakech than if you were visiting the Toubkal region and the scenery and the landscape are simply stunning.

    We will pick you up from Marrakech and drive you to Agouti by minibus in the morning.

    We will stay in a lovely guesthouse located in Agouti itself.
Day 2: Agouti to Arouss
  1. Ait Bougmez Valley
    6h · Admission ticket not included

  1. Ait Bougmez Valley
    8h · Admission ticket not included
    When you awake, we will begin our trek to the foot of M'Goun. It will be quite a long day (perhaps 7 or 8 hours of walking) but the journey itself will make it worthwhile!
    We'll take you through some wild Moroccan landscape to the Aghouri pass at 3450m before descending to the wind-eroded and snow-covered high plateau of Tarkedit at 2900m where we will have our lunch.

    After our food, we will establish a camp at 3400m directly below M'goun West, ready for our attempt on the summit.

    The trek follows a long ridge, all at or above 4,000m, which typically takes between 4 and 5 hours to the summit, depending on snow conditions. From the top, there are impressive views across the Draa valley and towards the Sahara Desert to the south.

    When we descend, we'll head to our camp at Azib Izabine and take some time for a rest!
Day 5: Azib Izabine to Ain Aflafal to Tighermet n Ait Ahmed
